Revenge and Redemption: Aaron's Tale of Resilience Chapter hundred forty three
The metallic taste of the sedative distorted Aaron's taste buds. The hysteric and concerned look on Helen's face, clouded his vision as he slowly opened his eyes to the sleeping figure of Helen, lying beside him, their hands loosely intertwined. “Sir.” Andrew made himself known to Aaron, who had no intention to wake Helen from her slumber. “Shh” he made a gesture with his finger to shut Andrew from further speaking.Helen awoke, to Aaron staring at her with an intensity she knew so well. The heat in his gaze, consumed her whole unorthodoxly. “You're awake?” She brushed her feelings aside as she lightly grazed his forehead with her palm. “Do I call the doctor?” She asked herself and without waiting for Aaron's response made to leave the ward.“There won't be a need for a doctor, all I need right now is you.” Aaron's words did the trick, as Helen returned to her side on the bed. The tiny bed could barely host his build, but he did not mind making enough room for Helen. She completed him

The discreet discharge of Aaron from the hospital and Suarez's persistent questions and drillings caused a headache to build up for Aaron, who wanted to see his little man and cuddle with the love of his life. “Can you put a hold on the questions? I have already told you all that I know.” Aaron barked at Suarez in obvious irritation. “Do you prefer a different investigator, or are you just playing hard to get Mr. Churchill?” Suarez retorted.“Do you need something? Maybe a cup of orange juice or a cup of decaf?” Helen offered to make him comfortable for the series of drills Suarez had prepared for him. The two seemed to have gained a ground of understanding, and Helen's quick compliance to Suarez's annoying tactics made him wonder to himself exactly what he missed over one week.“Mr. Churchill, I know this isn't the easiest of topics, and the incident must have been traumatizing, but your testimony is very crucial to solving the cases that have built up in a month.” Suarez pressed on

Things were not as they were again, Aaron could feel it down to his bones. The news of Henry Neville out of prison came as a shock to him, but he quickly got over it. The man possessed quite an amount of power that superseded that of any other conglomerate business empire and personality."I'm coming with you to work." Helen stood on her ground, fully dressed in a finely pleated suit, she prepared herself, ready to head out with him to work. Aaron did not have the final say on this, she had already made up her mind. "I have tons of upgraded bodyguards, there is nothing for you to worry about." Aaron tried convincing her to hold her horses but to no avail.Helen was yet to disclose all that had happened in his absence. First on the list, was his wacko ex-wife, who in all sincerity, caused Helen to shiver in anxious anticipation of her next move. One step at a time, she told herself. Aaron might appear to put up a tough front, but she feared the incident had shaken him up a bit. "I tho

Aaron paced around the office, his palms, sweaty and knees weak. "Are you okay?" Helen stood at the entrance of the door, her worry-laced face soothing his nerves a bit. "Breathe." She instructed him, which he did without reluctance. "What was that?" This was a new feeling for Aaron, for a moment there, he had lost touch with a part of himself. In a nutshell, he never wanted to experience that icky feeling again."You were having a panic attack," Helen replied, placing the cup of coffee on his table. "Look at me," she gently drew his face, close to hers, her breath fanning his nose lids which caused shivers of delight all over his body.Helen had been here before, experienced the worst cases of panic attacks, and hated how exhausted she had her feeling. "I want to be here for you, what happens back there?" It would do Aaron good to open up to her, a listening ear was the best antidote for a panic attack. "Are you sure you want to be there for me?" Aaron asked her, the intensity in hi

Suarez arrived a few minutes later. One would think he lurked around the building, waiting to be beckoned upon. Aaron pretended to be engrossed with some work on his system, as he typed away until Suarez settled in. “Listen to this.” No need for the fake pleasantries, Aaron wanted to have a face-to-face confrontation with Dragon and see how gruesome and oppressive he appeared to be in person. The voice record, played out, while Suarez listened to it, with rapt attention.“Can the FBI work with this?” Aaron inquired from Suarez, who tried to decipher the voice on the other end. The voice sounded familiar, although he could not place his hand on the occupant of such a gruff voice, but it, indeed, held great familiarity. “It will be a thirty to forty percent possibility, but the IT section can put in the work.” Suarez assured Aaron. With a close look at Aaron, Suarez could tell he was exhausted. “Everything will be fine, Mr. Churchill.”Or would they be? Nothing seemed right, Henry Nevil

"What do you want, Henry?” This had to be the hundredth time Aaron asked Henry Neville exactly what he had up his sleeves. The clock was ticking and dusk was upon them both.Henry was best described as a slow poison with a two-faceted motive. Aaron saw through all his damn facades. “Let's not forget our reason for meeting, son, Dragon.” The name caused Aaron to brew with an unwholesome personal vendetta.Helen watched from a distance, anticipating the worst. Everything appeared peaceful and Aaron seemed to be out of harm's way. “Should we retreat and give them space to chitchat?” The irritated voice of Lucas rang through the air, causing Helen to stir with displeasure. “Are you married or maybe in love, Mr. Lucas?” She made sure the question hit the spot, as she stared at him, waiting for a solid reply, and so did the others.“I am the only surviving son and I am currently and still very much open to love.” He gazed at her seductively, amidst the guards who watched his disgusting reac

Trust is an unbreakable bond that runs deep like the bond shared by the family. In this story my friends had taken a turn for the worse and, according to my favorite opinion, had no detour back to normalcy. “ What did he say?” Helen inquired from Aaron the moment Henry was out of sight and hearing distance. Aaron could tell that their feelings, towards the sudden repentance of Henry, remained mutual. “You don't believe in his abrupt change in character, do you?” He asked Helen the obvious, and she answered with a sharp nod.“Neither do I trust your bodyguard.” Her eyes shot lasers toward Lucas's direction. Aaron had underestimated Lucas and here he stood, gallantly, and in a position to feed him to the den of lions. “Neither do I,” Aaron replied. He had a casual meet-off with Suarez, he and the detective were bonding up. “Do you have plans for the evening?” He would rather not be left alone to sulk, a taste of Helen on the side would do him some good. Let's not forget the mind-blowing

Anna had become a ghost in the Churchill mansion, only appearing when necessary, and this evening was no exception. “Do you intend on telling Grandpa Adolph about this?” Helen inquired from Aaron, who needed a nice shower and good night's sleep…the place where the knife dug into his skin, scarred, and left a cut that would never be forgotten in a hurry. “For now, he should be less aware of my activities, it will keep him safe from harm's way.” Left for him, he did not want the old man to be involved in his business one bit. It put him at risk of the faceless killer who murdered without an iota of mercy. “He is the only family you have left and the closest thing to a parent that I have as well.” Aaron loved that grey—headed man, he always turned up for him and fought battles Aaron felt handicapped to take on. Anna decided to turn herself into a temporary housewife in the meantime. Emily had gotten lost in the wind alongside baby Ryan. She played around with some ingredients, tossing t

Ariel stood by the desk, watching Lucas with an air of suspicion. He seemed to be acting strange and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. “Mr Churchill left a while ago," she said, her voice carefully neutral. Lucas’s brow furrowed and his lips pursed in thought. He seemed anxious, almost twitchy, and it set her on edge. “Is there anything you'd like me to tell him when he returns?" Lucas paused, his expression unreadable. “No, there's nothing," he said, his voice tight. “Thanks” Ariel nodded, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right. She watched Lucas leave her desk, there was something up with the way he asked for Aaron’s presence Finally, she couldn't take it anymore, so she made a straight dial towards Aaron. Helen could feel the warmth of Aaron's body as he wrapped his arms around her. She let herself relax into his embrace, feeling safe and protected. “Are you hurt anywhere?"

"The press conference has been getting a lot of positive feedback, sir," Ariel said, looking at the numbers on her screen. “Views are well into the millions, and the comments have been overwhelmingly positive." Aaron looked up from his laptop, a slight smile playing on his lips. “That's great to hear," he said, his voice warm with approval. "You did a fantastic job putting that together." Ariel blushed at the praise, feeling a rush of pride. "Thank you, sir," she said, her voice full of gratitude. "I'm glad to be of service."As Aaron looked at Ariel, his eyes caught on a small bump in her stomach. It was barely noticeable, but it was there. And it reminded him of Helen when she was pregnant with their son. He remembered the joy he had felt, the anticipation of becoming a father, and then the thought of having another baby with his ex-wife. He pushed the thoughts away, not wanting to dwell on the past. But they lingered, just beneath the surface.Ariel cleared her throat, breaking t

As Anna sipped her wine, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. She was surrounded by opulence and luxury, but she knew that the man she was with was evil. Henry studied her, his eyes narrowing.“You only ever visit when you need my help," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "What do you want from me this time?"Anna's fingers curled around the stem of her wine glass, and she took a deep breath. Anna smirked at Henry's words, allowing him to bask in his pride. He dared to imply that she was weak, without even saying it outright. But Anna knew better. She was a woman who had been through hell and back, and she wasn't about to let an old man like Henry tell her what she was or wasn't."It would be the other way around, Mr. Neville," she purred, a faux smile on her lips. Henry's eyebrows shot up in confusion. He wasn't sure what Anna was getting at.“You're the one who needs my help," she said, her voice cold and confident. Henry couldn't help but laugh. "You've got to be kidding

News reports of Dragon's image flashed across the screen, the word "WANTED" in bold letters underneath. A reward of a billion naira was offered to anyone who could provide information that would lead to his capture. Grandpa Adolph shook his head, a look of concern on his face. "That's an awful lot of money to put on a murderer's head," he said, his voice heavy with worry. "What if someone gets hurt in the process?""I know it's a lot of money," Aaron replied, his brow furrowed. "But we have to do everything we can to bring him to justice and also whoever is instructing to kill. He's a dangerous man, and we can't let him get away with what he's done. I know it's risky, but it's the only way we can make sure he's caught and punished for his crimes."Grandpa Adolph sighed, knowing that Aaron was right. But he couldn't shake the feeling of dread that was settling over him. He knew that this was only the beginning and that things were about to get much worse. “I hope you know what you

“Sit down, boy” Henry barked, his voice filled with irritation. Lucas was pacing the room, his hands running through his hair, his face pale and drawn. He looked like he was about to have a panic attack. “I can't," Lucas said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I can't calm down!" Lucas exclaimed, his frustration spilling over. "Your lackey killed someone! The plan was to beat him up, not to shoot him !" He glared at Dragon, who stood sheepishly next to Henry.Henry's face hardened, his eyes blazing with anger. "So, are you guilty?" he demanded, his voice cold and unforgiving.Lucas looked down at the floor, unable to meet Henry's gaze. The truth was, he was guilty. He had been a part of this, even if he hadn't intended for things to go this far. But he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud. "The inspector deserved what he got," Henry sneered, his words dripping with hatred. "If he dies, it's a win for us. He won't be able to tell anyone what he knows." Dragon nodded ea

Roger, one of Henry's men, ushered Aaron into the mansion. The sound of splashing water filled the air, as Henry swam in the pool. The old man Neville has been having a good time since he came out of jail. “Mr. Churchill, it's nice to see you again," Henry called out, his voice carrying over the water. “Care to join me for a swim?" Aaron felt his temper rising. He wasn't here to socialize with the enemy. He was here for answers. “I’m not here for a swim, Mr. Neville," he said, his voice tight with anger. "I'm here to ask you about Dragon." Henry's expression turned serious suddenly, worried, and anxious in a rush but decided not to show the fullness of his anxiety, and he got out of the pool, dripping water onto the marble floor. A maid brought Henry a towel, which he used to dry off his dripping hair and body. His boxers were soaked through, revealing the outline of his genitals beneath the thin fabric. Aaron averted his gaze, feeling a bit uncomfortable.Henry seemed obliviou
